My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna      hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna        pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and       those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again         brother and me around before the ship was out of        , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of         in with the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing        , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while         some type of part-time job. Leaving a         career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,         with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to         a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this       into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to       another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a         to rearrange furniture, make curtains and         pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a         attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so       all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my heroine.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38  on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton,   39  will pay any more attention to your scar   40  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother   41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42  high — glad he was alive.
  43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,   44  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer   45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your   46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false   47 .
One of my friends in college was very   48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his   49   for about 10 seconds. This man felt   50  about himself and spent most of his time   51  about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福).   52 , people ignored his looks. What people   53  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value   54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same   55 .

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a   36  performer carefully steps   37  a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across   38  a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns   __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as   40 . “The coals are hot enough to   41__  you, but if you walk quickly across them you   42  being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made   43   burning wood chips. Wood has two   44__   properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t   __45  heat very well. “It   46 _ time for heat to travel   47  the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal   48 , that would truly be   49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would   50  burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to   51  its temperature. Heat is a form of   52 . Temperature is a   53  of heat, in units of degrees. So   54  the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can   55  such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?
